ABOUT THE
ROBERT REDFORD CONSERVANCY

Founded in 2012 and named in honor of Robert Redford’s commitment to environmental advocacy and former service on the Pitzer College Board of Trustees, the Robert Redford Conservancy for Southern California Sustainability at Pitzer College aims to increase socio-ecological justice and sustainability in our surrounding communities and beyond. Through collaborative strategies and practices that recognize we are part of multiple and interconnected systems (ecological, human, political, economic and cultural), we create experiences that:

• Educate and cultivate environmental scholars and stewards
• Integrate and support Indigenous knowledge and practices into programming and curriculum
• Elevate the diverse face of environmental movements, leaders, and issues
• Foster collaboration and leadership for socio-ecological justice and sustainability
• Build capacity and solutions to Southern California’s greatest environmental challenges
